Inference of evolutionary jumps in large phylogenies using Lévy processes [PDF]
, 2016 Although it is now widely accepted that the rate of phenotypic evolution may not necessarily be constant across large phylogenies, the frequency and phylogenetic position of periods of rapid evolution remain unclear.

Out of Florida: mtDNA reveals patterns of migration and Pleistocene range expansion of the Green Anole lizard (Anolis carolinensis) [PDF]
, 2014 Anolis carolinensis is an emerging model species and the sole member of its genus native to the United States. Considerable morphological and physiological variation has been described in the species, and the recent sequencing of its genome makes it an ...

Brown anole (Anolis sagrei) adhesive forces remain unaffected by partial claw clipping
Acta Herpetologica, 2017 Morphological properties of animal locomotor systems should reflect costs and benefits associated with particular environments. Lizards that possess both claws and adhesive toe pads are specialized for environments that require movements in both the ...

Estimation of the dietary nutrient profile of free-roaming feral cats: possible implications for nutrition of domestic cats [PDF]
, 2011 Cats are strict carnivores and in the wild rely on a diet solely based on animal tissues to meet their specific and unique nutritional requirements. Although the feeding ecology of cats in the wild has been well documented in the literature, there is no ...

Variability in oil droplet numbers and proportions in the retinas of anole lizards
Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile ScienceColored oil droplets are a common feature in the cones of almost all diurnal lizards. Using white light microscopy, three chromotypes of droplet can be identified in anoles – yellow, green and colorless. These droplets have been associated with different

EFFECTS OF CHIGGER MITE (ACARI: TROMBICULIDAE) INFECTIONS ON AMEIVA (SQUAMATA: TEIIDAE) FROM THE ANGUILLA BANK [PDF]
, 2009 We examined 152 Ameiva plei from four sites on Anguilla and from Scrub Island, a nearby satellite, and 12 A. corax from Little Scrub Island, another Anguillian satellite, generated indices of condition by dividing mass (g) by SVL (mm), and quantified ...

Immunocytological analysis of meiotic recombination in two anole lizards (Squamata, Dactyloidae)
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2017 Although the evolutionary importance of meiotic recombination is not disputed, the significance of interspecies differences in the recombination rates and recombination landscapes remains under-appreciated.
